View submission: Karma experiment
users will gain “award karma” when they give or receive awards
award karma will be added to the total karma and shown as a separate category in the user profile.
Our goals with this change are to recognize awarding as a key part of the Reddit community and to drive more of it
Wow... what a profoundly stupid idea.
Because the track record so far has been stellar in regards to karma farming, vote manipulation, and briganding. Let's add another avenue to the mix. Awards are not a key part of the reddit community. They're a key part of your business strategy. At least be clear about that part.
